Climate changeis defined as the change of global mean temperature. While the reasons for global climate change wereinvestigated, the effect of CO2, which is the most important greenhouse gas, was found. In the world theoceans and forests are the biggest carbon sinks. So the forests are very important for climate change andcarbon storage. 75% of carbon was stocked by plants in the forests.In this study, we aimed to determine the carbon stock change between 1970 and 2009 in SaraycıkForest Management Chiefdom using the carbon conversion coefficient calculated for Turkey s forests byAsan (2002). The stand type maps and forest management plans produced in 1970 and 2009 weredigitized for calculating the carbon stock. In addition the carbon stock maps were produced with ArcGIS10.0 software.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRESEARCH1837112032071231309-4181
